Moving on from 18F. — ethanmarcotte.com I had a wonderful job, until I didn’t. This is about what happened—and what is happening.

“… the nineteenth century saw the book transform from a largely hand-made object to a mass-produced product. In this new context a book's cover took on added importance … [as] a key platform through which to communicate and sell the book.”
